The challenge of creating really good shuffle is endlessly entertaining, and appreciated by all clerks, no matter what our musical tastes.

Roy Orbison, the Trainspotting soundtrack, Soul Couging, and any good New Wave collection used to be a favorite blend of mine, though Casey came up with the most elegantly simple mix: Belle & Sebastian and GWAR.
